world with both hands as though they did
not want to give It up? sob, no." you
say; "no, remember as though it we're
yesterday; she had kind word for US
all, and there were few mementoes dis
tributed among the children, and then she
told US how kind We must be to our Esther
in his loneliness, and then she kissed US
goodby sud went asleep SIS child in g
cradle"
What made her so composed?
NATURAL COURAGE
'No," you say, "mother was very nerv-
Gus; when the carriage inclined to the
side OF the road, she would cry out; sc
was always rather weakly What, then,
gave her composure? Was it because she
do not care much for you, and the p2ng
Of parting was not great? "Oh, you say,
"she showered upon US wealth Of sfec-
ton; no mother ever loved her children
more than mother loved US; she showed
it by the way she nursed US when we
were sick, and she toiled Tor US until her
strength gave cut" What, then, was Ii

portion, and she had faith inst she would
go straight to glory, and that we should

Christian brother die, and he tTiumphed."
And some one else: al saw Christian
sister die, aud she triumDhed." Some
one else viii! say: 81 saw g Christian
daughter die, and she triumphed."

your heads, put your hand on the old
family Bible, from which they used to
read the promises, and promise in the
presence of high heaven that you will tell
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth. With what you have seen
with your own eyes, and from what you
have heard with your own ears, is there
power in this Gospel to give cslmness
and triumph in the last eXigency? The
response comes from ell sides, from
young, and old, ard middle aged: ''Wa
